IT' S ME!!!!!!!!! I'M BACK!
HI guys!! I am back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The times were a little goofy!!!
My unofficial chip time was 6:00:28. It might be off by 4 minutes. The clock read 5:56 when I crossed the finish line, so we will see.
It also took about 20 minutes for me to get to the starting line after the race started. You're literally walking very slowly because of all of the people starting ahead of you. So we have to go by our "chiptimes".
I had some problems with my IT band in my leg. I had to stop and stretch it every 3 miles or so. But, I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw my mom at around mile 13 cheering me on. Then I saw my DH 3 different times. Miles 2, 15 and the home stretch!!
I saw my dad and my uncle cheering me on at mile 23!!!!!!!!!! I stopped and gave them hugs! It totally gave me the energy to keep going and ignore the pain in my knee.
There were a few times I felt like crying..I think I did a little bit. I couldn't figure out if I was crying because I was almost there (out of joy) or crying because my knee hurt! Teehee!!!
This was THE HARDEST thing I have ever done! But the most rewarding at the same time!!!
I saw my hubby cheering me on and he jumped over the fence and ran the final 200 yards with me!!!!
Then he ran to the side when it was time to cross the finish because he said this was my moment.
))))
Thank you ALL SO MUCH for all your support!!!!!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have an awesomely, beautiful medal too!!!!!!!!!!!
